White House must respond to 'Kick Bieber Out' petition

More than 100,000 people in the US have signed a petition calling for Canadian pop star Justin Bieber to be deported and now White House staff have to provide an official response to the people's call.

As is their constitutional right to do so, US citizens are allowed to petition the government over grievances — and their latest is with the troublesome 19-year-old pop sensation who was last week arrested for allegedly drag racing his Lamborghini in Florida while under the influence of either drugs or alcohol.

Upset by Bieber's bad boy image, a petition was launched to deport him and revoke his green card on January 23 because he is a "terrible influence on our nation's youth".

"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," the petition claimed.

"We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked."

Reaching the 100,000 signature threshold means staff working at the White House must provide an official response to the petition, which they have yet to do.

The "We the People" online petition system was launched by the White House in 2011 and required only 5000 signatures within 30 days to have the government respond.

Miscalculating the swarm mentality of the internet, the White House was forced to raise the threshold to 25,000 due to the influx of silly requests of the government.

One notable past petition was a request for the US to build a Star Wars-inspired "Death Star", prompting the White House to respond that it did not condone "blowing up planets".

They since brought the threshold up to its current level of 100,000 signatures.

Bieber is currently sunning it up on the beaches of Panama following his arrest last Thursday and is due to return to court on February 14 by which time Obama's closest advisors should have weighed up calls to kick him out of the country.
